It seems like every other ECNL club has announced theirs, and with all of the potential movement between clubs, one would want to know who is coaching prior to deciding to go to an id session.


Why do you want your son to play at BRYC?

I don’t—existing Bridge teams stay bridge but all NEW teams formed (ie 2013s) should just get formed through the Academy. Bridge could just go away after the 2012s. A lot of people will pay because that is the going rate for pretty much every club in the area.

what makes you think the bridge team parents would want to pay for the Academy fee. Not everyone cares about the competition level. This is simply one thing better than e-sports.

Maybe/hopefully that will change with ODSL out of the picture now but would really begin unti lthe 2013s are getting formed. The early-age travel spinoffs from the rec talent pool used to go to ODSL first, which didn't require going through Academy because the Rec program is affiliated with ODSL (while Academy is affiliated with NCSL and ECNL). I've posted this before on other threads but the BRYC talent on boys and girls sides is spread out across the Bridge/ODSL clubs and the Academy. In most instances the best talent at the youngest ages is with Bridge/ODSL because the coaches forming that team get the pick of the crop from the rec/all star pool. When other players decide they want to try travel later on they are kind of left with not many options because teams are full. In addition, many Bridge/ODSL teams have numerous players playing up. So BRYC never has its best talent on the same team at the same time EVER from U6-U19. The price difference, too, is another factor. ODSL travel pricing (and Bridge) with volunteer led coaches is a bargain--probably cheapest travel cost in the area; whereas the Academy pricing is comparable to other clubs in the areas who have academies/paid coaching staffs.

But with ODSL out of the picture, Academy has an opportunity to say all BRYC travel is either through Academy or not all for 2013s and going forward. They also could benefit themselves immensely, IMO, if they tried to have some type of invovelment with rec. Even if it's leading or assiting with the all star teams at the end of each Fall and Spring seasons; and/or hosting a free training session before, after or mid-season.


That would mean AF would have to know something about evaluating a talent pool.
